I have just discovered twinings peppermint tea is MUCH nicer than aldis peppermint tea. I was surprised at the difference in taste. Whats your go to tea?
 
I do like a pg tips, but I'm guessing you mean fruit or herbal teas.

In which case, there's a brand called Pukka that I like.

Twinings used to do a camomile and honey one, that was great when I had a cold, but it switches to camomile and vanilla, not quite as good.

any and all teas!
I'm not picky about brands, but my favorite kind of tea is Earl Grey.

Despite being from Yorkshire, I do not drink Yorkshire Tea. Or, for that matter, tea.

If you no longer live in Yorkshire this is fine, but if you currently reside there just bare in mind that it could all go very Wicker Man at any moment!
'they do not drink the tea! they are not of our ways! they are a despoiler! Burn them Up on t'moor!' 😛
 
I think Harney & Sons make really good tea, but I only buy unusual flavors from them, because they're pricier. Earl Grey you can get from any brand, but only H&S have Black Cask Bourbon or Royal Wedding tea.

For more unusual flavours Bird and Blend do a retro sweets mix, parma violets, drumsticks, love hearts and refreshers. I haven't tried them yet, but it was one of those that I had to buy to try. They do loose leaf tea too.

I do still live in Yorkshire and never left!

However, there are not that many moors around here... and given this used to be called North Humberside, it just never seems like proper Yorkshire.

You're probably safe then; it's not quite 'Darkest Yorkshire'. :)

The next questions should be;

How do you make it?
How strong do you like it?
Decaf Tetley tea with half a spoon of raw sugar and full cream milk for breakfast. The amount of milk would likely get me cancelled in the UK.
Peppermint tea in the afternoon/night. I cant tolerate super hot drinks anymore, so I always put a dash of cold water in. I will NOT be going back to Aldi brand!

Probably not. The amount of milk can vary from a full on builder's brew to a milky tea where hot milk replaces all the water.

My neighbour calls mine "boarding house tea"

One of the ladies at craft group, has about 2cm of milk in her tea, but that's how she likes it.

I can't drink them hot now either, I usually just wait though, other people finish their tea before I've even started mine.
